This document reports the results of an experiment testing the antibacterial properties of banana leaf, peel, and stem extracts against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli bacteria. The extracts were tested at different concentrations (5, 15, 30, 60 mg/ml) and time periods (24, 48, 72 hours) by measuring zone of inhibition. The ethanolic extracts generally showed higher inhibition zones than the aqueous extracts. Zone of inhibition increased with higher extract concentrations and longer exposure times, indicating the banana extracts have antibacterial effects in a dose-dependent manner.
